The 471 transforms ‘70s running heritage into a new, everyday go-to, with a reinterpretation of the era’s visual signatures. The sleek low profile, wedge-shaped EVA midsole, and herringbone outsole provide a familiar starting point, allowing the elevated material choices to take the lead. Breathable mesh uppers and hairy suede overlays provide an effortlessly lived-in look, while the classic ‘fang’ design at the toebox is a uniquely New Balance visual flourish that sets the 471 apart from the pack.
